Close Minded

We watched this episode of trading spouses. It's a show where two families switch moms for a while. One mom was Christian, the other believed in astrology. The point of the show is to put people into a different life style then they are use to. There supposed to learn about other ways of life and to teach people about there's. The lady who was Christian preached to the family about her religion. She tried very hard to make the family believe in Jesus and the Christian religion. When the father of that family tried teaching her of there religion, astrology she wanted nothing to do with it. She was already convinced it was wrong to believe what they believe. Without even knowing what astrology is about? That lady had no problem preaching to that family and everyone else about her religion, but when it came time for her to learn, she wouldn't even listen. She'd yell and scream about how it was wrong, how they needed to find god and how shell prey for them. The family that she was living with even went to church with her and listened to her when she spoke. She did not respect them in return. That bothers me. I believe if you think its right to preach your religion onto other people, you should be willing to listen to other people's religions as well. The catholic lady was so close mined. The way she acted, the way she was so cold and judgmental towards the family for believing in what they believe in made me not want to listen to anything she had to say. The other family was considerate and kind towards the lady. Those are the kinds of people id like listening to, no matter what there religion.
